Small Commercial Audits

To help your small business reach its environmental goals and reduce energy consumption, Hearthmakers is pleased to offer small commercial audits in Eastern Ontario

A building audit will identify energy efficiency opportunities and help guide your small business to make the necessary changes resulting in: reduced consumption; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; improved comfort level.  With ever-increasing energy costs and new incentive programs, updating commercial facilities is now more affordable.
